Twirling Party Ideas -- Sue, 20:49:14 10/01/03 Wed(NoHost/216.89.179.94)
Hi,
I am a cocah for a summer parade group of girls that range in age 5-15. Our season just ended and I have year end baton party for the girls and give out participation trophies and awards. The 1st year it was held at our local pizza restuarnt. 2nd year it was held at a Recreation Center that had indoor swimming. This year we are having a Bonfire Party. My idea is to have the girls bring their batons to the party (and not tell them why) and surprise them by having their parents participate by twirling or along that line. Was thinking of contest like events such as how far away can they exchange toss the batons between parent and child or have the kids teach their parents a really short routine and then all the parents perform for the kids.....Anyway, I was hoping to get more ideas from you. Thanks

My 10 year-old daughter is auditioning for a musical in which she would have to twirl a baton. She's had ballet since she was four, ice skated, done tai kwondo... but has never twirled.
